Molly Maguire's to open Fall 2007.

The website for Molly Maguire's Restaurant and Pub has (partially) been launched. According to it the new restaurant will open in Fall of 2007. To date, the About Us is the only page that has any real info but there is a lot of good info. Here is some of what the site says..

---
Molly Maguire's Restaurant and Pub will house an extensive first class kitchen serving American and Continental cuisine in a resplendent environment styled after the finest publican facilities in the developers homeland of Ireland.
The two upper floors of 195 Bridge Street will be converted to three condominium living units. The restaurant complex will encompass the ground floor of both 195 & 197 Bridge Street and the second and third floors of 197 Bridge St. a/k/a "The Corner"
The restaurant will seat about eighty diners on the first floor with an additional fifty seats on the second floor and another sixty seats on the third floor. The third floor will function primarily as a banquet space. The second and third floors will be available as banquet space for the many private functions the new Phoenixville is expected to attract. Both the first and second floor dining area will include an authentic old world style bar serving libations and beverages suitable for all members of your families.

If you're looking for a great new restaurant, you won't find it at Molly Maguire's, which is Phoenixville's most disappointing new dining offering.

While Molly Maguire's appears to be superb as a 'meet/meat-market' bar, if, as I was, you were looking forward to a cozy Irish restaurant with food reminiscent of the auld country, you will very likely be sorely disappointed.

While the menu features fetchingly descriptive names, the food itself is lacking. However, our meal was served at a nice, hot temperature, which is about the only plus I can give the place.

We were seated in the snug at the back of the ground floor, close to the kitchen (we could have helped the staff sort cutlery at the station behind us) and so no 'atmosphere' was visible. Plenty of noise from the bar did waft over. And the area was freezing, more indicative of a chain restaurant than a cozy pub.

Desserts were a HUGE let-down, with ordinary cakes and pies you might find at any American chain restaurant; most were not even as imaginative as many available at those eateries.

Further, when I ordered a cup of hot tea, I was presented with a cup filled to the brim with hot water.....with a Lipton tea bag next to it on the saucer in typical American fashion. This from an establishment that trades on being authentically Irish -- FOR SHAME!

I'm hoping that the new creperie set to open further down Bridge Street will provide a more positive experience. While I don't expect it to be truly French, after my less than stellar experience at Molly Maguire's, I would even happily accept insulting French waiters for a bit of authenticity!

If you like your food served frozen and not cooked all the way through... then this is the pub for you. A place like this just puts Phoenixville to shame.

Public meeting to discuss future of Melchiorre Park scheduled for Nov. 29th

On Thursday, November 29th, the Borough is holding a 'brainstorming session' in which plans for Melchiorre Park will be discussed with its park planning consultants. The event will be held at the High School and will begin 7pm. For those of you who do not know about Melchiorre Park (of which I am included, even though I apparently live across the street from it), it is a 23 acre park located south of High Street on the land between it and French Creek. It appears, based on the drawing on the Borough home page , to be the land that is next to Westridge Village and across the street from the new Northridge Village community. As part of the meeting, the consultants will 'provide a brief background of the project and present a pre-final master plan for the park'. Source: Phoenixville Borough Website

Local Baker Wins on Netflix Sugar Rush

Peri Anderson, owner of Brooklyn Girl Bakery , was part of a team that won the most recent episode of Sugar Rush on Netflix. I reached out to Peri to learn a little more about her bakery: I started out taking a recreational cake decorating class with my mom when I was still living in NY. I loved it and moved to PA to be with my boyfriend (now husband), where I began interning for a bakery in Chestnut Hill. Over the course of 7 years I worked my way up from intern to pastry chef until I decided to leave in 2012. I do all of my baking in our home kitchen which is licensed and insured by the Dept. of Agriculture. Initially, I wanted to focus on wedding cakes so I immediately started contacting wedding venues in the area to see if they would include me a wedding cake vendor in their packages. I currently work with over 10 venues and several caterers in the area. While wedding cakes are my main focus, I also make cakes and cookie favors for all occasions. While I don’t have a retail loca
